The $20 goodwill bike

I've been looking for a bike to build my wife a motorbike with, Saturday morning while waiting for the bank to open I was waiting in the goodwill store parking lot. I saw two people get out of their car as the store employee unlocked the doors and decided to check for anything I could use. I went straight to the back and found a nearly new 24" women's mountain bike for $19.91, I'm going to cut the top bar out and reweld it to make room for a two stroke engine. I have a complete kit, all I have to order is dual brake lever.

I have thought about building my wife one also, I'll need to do hers with pull start and centrifugal clutch though if I go CG power.

Have seriously thought about rear mount 49cc board scooter set up or possible use one of the 79cc HF 4 smokers I have out in the shop and make it a belt drive with centrifugal clutch, my wife is 5'2" and would need a very easy to handle set up, the manual clutch would make it a no go for her.

Hope to see some pics of the bike here soon and especially to build process as you start they work.
